A tio'mey Patented June 17, 1930 V wearer EUGENE DIGNAN, F BOYNE CITY, MICHIGAN CURTAIN-BRACKET-FIXT'URE BLOCK Application filed August 13, 1929. Serial No. 385,497.

The present invention relates to a curtain bracket fixture block and has for its prime object to provide means whereby a bracket block may be easily and quickly engaged with t a window frame without marring or disfig- -uring the frame in any way.

Another very important object of the invention resides. in the'provision of a device of this nature which is exceedingly simple in'its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate, thoroughly efficient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and 2 claimed.

In the drawing:

Figure l is an elevation of a window frame showing my improved devices in place supporting a curtain pole,

Figure 2 is an enlarged detail section taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Figure 1,

Figure 3 is an enlarged detail elevation of one of the blocks showing the front side thereof,

Figure 4 is an elevation showing the inner side thereof, 7

Figure 5 is a rear elevation thereof, and

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the spring.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that numerals 5 denote the corner blocks of window frame 6 which is of conventional construction. Blocks 7 have springs 8 anchored thereto by means of screws 9 or other conventional means and 10 these springs extend beyond one side of the block and are longitudinally curved away from the block as will be quite apparent from an inspection of Figure 4.

A suitable bracket 10 is mounted on the block so that curtain poles 11 of conventional auger type may be engaged therewith.

The blocks 7 are adapted to be placed alongside of the blocks 5 with the springs 8 forced betweenthe blocks 5 and the wall 12 and because of the curved formation of the springs, said springs will be straightened out when the blocks are placed as shown in Figure 2 thereby having a binding gripping engagement to prevent accidental removal thereof and enabling the blocks to support the proper amount of weight.

It will beseen that the blocks are mountable in place without in any way marring the frame work or otherwise causing injury. It will further be noted that these devices bermanufactured at a very low cost, are easy to put in place, and when in place are thoroughly efficient and reliable.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of my invention will now be 1; quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or 1 sacrificing any of its advantages. so

tain fixture comprising a block, a leaf spring fixed to the block and extending beyond one to side thereof, said spring being longitudinally curved, a bracket mounted on said block.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

EUGENE DIGNAN.
